Do you know of Star Lime Works ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Star Lime Works. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Star Lime Works.<1>

Our sources for Star Lime Works (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Star Lime Works other than they indicate that Star Lime Works would be found somewhere in Lyon County, Kentucky.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1872 and closed  in 1943.
